Autonomy Corporation plc, a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that it has been acknowledged as one of KMWorld Magazine's 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management for 2004. The list reflects activity and performance in the content industry in 2003, as evaluated by the editorial staff. Autonomy was previously listed as a winner in 2001, 2002 and 2003, a tribute to the ongoing leadership Autonomy provides in the knowledge management industry. "Organizations increasingly require cutting-edge knowledge management solutions to keep them competitive in a global business environment," said Hugh McKeller, editor-in-chief of KMWorld. "Autonomy's ongoing commitment to knowledge management in the enterprise is evident, as they are repeatedly included in KMWorld's 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management." "Autonomy's unique ability to fully automate the processing of any type of unstructured information, including text, audio and video, increases employee efficiency and ultimately saves companies time and money," said Mike Lynch, Autonomy CEO and founder. "It is an honor to be recognized once again by KMWorld as a company that is making an impact on the way organizations manage information." Autonomy's unique Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL) integrates unstructured, semi-structured and structured information from multiple repositories through an understanding of their content. Autonomy grants enterprises the flexibility to use advanced information retrieval or legacy-based approaches. At the heart of Autonomy's software is its ability to process text, voice and video, and identify and rank the main concepts within them. It then automatically categorizes, links, summarizes, personalizes and delivers that information. Autonomy's technology also drives collaboration across the enterprise and enables organizations to effectively leverage expertise. Autonomy's infrastructure technology is used to automate operations within enterprise information portals, customer relationship management, knowledge management, business intelligence and e-business applications, among others.
